    OK — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

    What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculator save the student[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    One thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent if I’m splitting a race.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

    Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

    So — been on this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

    How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.

    The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]free bet calculator lucky 63[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that really changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.

    It’s not perfect mind. Its design is a bit basic — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.

    Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
